Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. In personal notifications I check Mail:
  • comments for files,
  • a comment has been created on a card.
  1. When I make a comments to a file or I create a comment on a card
  2. I get the email notification
Expected behaviour

Notifications are ways to make me aware of what is relevant to me.

So I would expect to be able to limit notifications to:

  • Most importantly: - mentions to me by other users on the ticked elements in the notifications setting
  • Secondly: comments of other users on shared Deck cards or files.

Activities in the Dashboard could reflect such a behavior, (or a dedicated widget).

This would make notifications a lot more relevant.

Actual behavior

I get notifications both for comments and changes made by me and for those made by other members.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in the personal notification settings for file comments and Deck card comments, including comments made by the same user and by others. Define done as allowing notifications to be limited to mentions and other users' comments, with the expected email and dashboard behavior clarified before implementation.
